LET ME STEAL THIS MOMENT FROM YOU NOW

It’s Not the First of May Without Jonathan Coulton

It’s a hallowed tradition here on Whatever to play “First of May” by Jonathan Coulton on the first of May, provided I can remember to do so. I remembered! So crank it up, provided you are not some place where a sprightly song about springtime fornication will in fact get you in trouble. In which case, maybe headphones are appropriate.

Love this song: anyone who can rhyme “big toe” and “in flagrante delicto” is all right in my book. That said, here in London it is eminently not the right weather for what Mr Coulton is suggesting – although early April would have been ideal.

Don’t have headphones or speakers on this computer… but I know ASL so it works! And I still managed to feel a bit weird watching it at work even though no one around me has a clue what any of those guys are saying.

That’s it. I am starting a petition to have the Australian calendar re jigged so that I can sing this song in context, in public, without danger of chilblains. Finally, a worthy cause to dedicate my life to!
